Can dogs eat it?

Can dogs eat eggs?

Yes, in moderation Yes, fully cooked and plain. Eggs are a good source of protein. Avoid raw eggs.

Why

Cooked eggs give protein, fat, vitamins and minerals (AKC). Raw eggs risk salmonella, and raw egg white can interfere with the vitamin biotin (AKC, ASPCA). Eggs are calorie dense, so keep them occasional. Shells have sharp edges.

How to give it safely

Scrambled or hard boiled, cooked through, with no butter, oil, salt or seasoning. Puppies can have small amounts, introduced gradually.

This is general guidance, your vet sets the actual schedule. Puppies, small dogs and dogs with a health condition can react to smaller amounts. Check with your own vet before changing what your dog eats.
